Gascogne
Traditional French cooking with an emphasis on southwestern dishes.
Rustic French Country-Romantic candlelit tables which overlook a
shady, rustic garden. During the holiday season, the garden houses
a glorious Christmas tree, and snowmen are built with the first snowfalls.
Michelin 2008
A jewel in the heart of Chelsea, Gascogne sparkles with rustic fare from southwestern
France. Fine cassoulet, foie gras and veal kidneys flamed with Armagnac
are examples of carefully prepared dishes. In true French fashion the bar
stocks a good selection of aged Armagnac.
In cold weather,
ask for table by the window overlooking the garden -
complete with a Christmas tree in season, in summer you can dine outside
in this shady space. Zagat 2008
Its "warm farmhouse feel" "transports
you to the South West of France", while this Chelsea "sleeper’s" “terrific
cassoulet" and other "solid" bistro
classics "warm" the
soul; take a date to the "tres romantique" garden.

Named after
a region noted for its culinary indulgences, this haute establishment
is all about foie gras and other luxurious dishes - carefully
prepared and presented. Time your visit right and the prices
won’t break you - prix
fixe menus offered lunch and dinner times and all evening
Mondays for $29.
A verdant garden offsets the richness of the dishes with some
good old alfresco dishes.
